This way you can get drunk with your monk
Do bonuses with your Ritualist
Explore with your warrior

And everyone gets to wear the title proud.

A few titles that should update over all characters.

Drunk - does it really matter which toon is getting drunk? you are getting drunk for the same amount of time.

Elite - 90 elites on one character? yeesh, make it character wide and unlocked like, so you only get it for the unlocked ones, and can't cap the same elite over and over.

Wisdom

Chest opened

Kind of a big deal

Titles you must do with one toon, but after earning the title, all can wear.

Survivor

Exploration

Bonuses

Thanks for your time.

Nah, that'd take some of the difficulty out of it. I worked hard on my character to get the titles I have, it's fine the way it is. I only use one PVE character mainly, as I'm sure most people do, and if you're going to do it, do it on your main.

Lurid · Jun 10, 2006, 08:16 AM // 08:16

Kind of a Big Deal IMO should never be account wide, as it would take the skill out of getting it. As of now (to me atleast) only one title is really easy at all to get the highest level of, and thats Protector. It in itself is a feat, as it takes a considerable amount of time.

led-zep · Jun 10, 2006, 08:59 AM // 08:59

sounds like a good idea to me, i know theres no way in hell im gonna drag myself around tyria again just to get the same exlorer title for my other chars that i have already earnt.
fame emotes are account (which could result in a player using a new pvp character he has no idea how to play getting into a good group) so why arent titles account wide, who cares if your ele didnt get the explorer or protecter titles for example, YOU did. and im all for some titles eing earnt over all characters too, all those elites on one character?i just dont have the time to play that much gw, does this mean i shouldnt be allowed these titles because i have other ways to spend my free time?

Another "omg the titles are too hard to get"-like post. You do not HAVE to get the titles. It's something you need to earn only if you like to. And the word "earning" says it all: you have to do something for it. What's cooler than having TWO characters with the drunkard title?

Ishmaeel · Jun 10, 2006, 10:00 AM // 10:00

About the exploration titles: What if your character is proudly displaying "Grandmaster Cartographer" (earned with another of your chars) and when the group asks you to map from an outpost to another but you have to reply that you don't have it unlocked on your map since you skipped that part with that character? That would sound real silly.

You can't map others to an outpost they don't have anyways?

And what situations would require the whole party to move from outpost to another, if they are grouped to do quest X or mission Y?

/unsigned for the initial suggestion tho :P

I feel that Survivor, Mission completion and Exploration should stay per character as they say things about how well you play that class.

Big Deal - Currently its per character, but if you have 5 maxed per-account skills, it becomes per account. So if you can show 5 other max titles, you can show it. It doesn't make sense to have this title if you can't show the other 5.

Gold IDing can be placed on a character as soon as it gets storage access by transfering over golds and ID kits. So I say it should be per account, but up the requirements for it simply because of how easy it is to cheat it (if you can aquire the golds).

Chest opening shows that you were able to reach the chests on that character, showing eaither some skill to find them, or lots of repetitive action to keep the easy to find chests spawning. Keep it per-character, though I don't really care if its made account based

Drunkard - well it shows you can aquire large ammounts of ale, and then consume them over time. Per account would make sense as it says things about you, not your characters.

As for skill hunter, if it was per account I would of earned it already. But as ANET probably hasnn't recorded that I unlocked all skills through PvE (why would they before they planned titles ?) they would be unable to tell me apart from those who spent faction on elite skills.

JoeKnowMo · Jun 10, 2006, 10:44 AM // 10:44

Who knows what role PvE titles will come to play later in the game. If like PvP fame, it's needed to get into groups, then it would make more sense for some titles to be character wide. Maybe Anet will come up with something innovative that's account wide besides titles.

I like the titles system the way it is. The ones that are character specific are as they should be, in my opinion.

Evilsod · Jun 10, 2006, 06:55 PM // 18:55

Drunk - Dunno, wouldn't really make your other characters Incorrigible Ale Houns would it...

Elite - No, theres no reason to make this account based at all

Wisdom - Yes, its hard enough finding rare items as it is, let alone doing it with each character

Chest opened - Yes, see above

Kind of a big deal - No point in the title then

Survivor - No...

Exploration - No, how have your characters got 100% exploration if they havent?

Bonuses - No, each character can do the bonus' on there own, you can complete them all quite easily on each character.

Not all of them should be. Just some...

Seriously, what is the point of having titles if you can specialize with different characters and have them able to wear a title they didn't earn.
Titles are designed for the roleplaying aspect, what your CHARACTER has accomplished. Not what your account has done overall.

Think of it this way: given the choice between Battletank and Archmage (not supposed to be real titles, just examples), which would you use on an Elementalist heavy into casting? Obviously the one that suits them (Archmage). So what would be the point in having the extra title?

Vilaptca · Jun 11, 2006, 12:56 AM // 00:56

I think what they need to do is just add more account based titles?

Really how many are there? Just a couple. And aren't they all PvP based?

A better suggestion would be to add more account based titles.

I'll /sign that.

I agree with the points made about Character-only titles and such..Id almost say make more character-based. Gladiator title for instance..Now THATS bridging PvE and PvP.
